Aurelie Jacob is a material scientist focusing on the thermodynamic modeling of alloys and oxide systems in the Institute of Material Technology, Building Physics, and Building Ecology at TU Wien.
She completed her PhD at Forschungszentrum Jülich (DE) in May 2015, after obtaining her master in Green Chemistry at the University of Savoie (FR) with the master thesis carried out at Monash University (AUS).
SHe started her Post-Doc at TU Wien in 2016, and became Senior Post-Doc researcher within a Christian Doppler Laboratory in 2018. She obtained the Elise Richter Grant in May 2025.

Project: Thermodynamic Modeling for Stacking Fault Energy in Metals
The ThermoStac project aims at providing a predictive model for the determimation of Stacking Fault Energy (SFE) for metallic systems. Stacking Fault is one of the most prominent default in metal and influence mechanical properties. So far, the given model based on thermodynamic modeling fail due to several misconsideration. Within the present project it is thus plan to provide a consistent predictive model for the SFE based on thermodynamic modeling with unique chance to obtain reliable data for technological and relevant alloys. This project subscribe in the sustainable alloy development.
